Resumo

A refrigeração solar por absorção é um campo de estudos de suma importância, em um contexto no qual ocorrem alterações climáticas alarmantes, devido ao seu potencial de redução de impactos ambientais em relação as fontes convencionais de energia. Um dos desafios de sua implementação é a substituição dos fluidos convencionais de refrigeração por fluidos mais ecológicos, como líquidos iônicos e nanofluidos. Vazamentos, além de consumo de eletricidade ou calor, geram impactos ao ambiente. Este artigo tem como objetivo explorar estas possibilidades discutindo as perspectivas atuais e futuras de fluidos não convencionais na refrigeração solar.
